Randy: I, too, am disgusted. If it were me, I'd report them to the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association - http://www.ovma.org/ - the person who had the suffering ferret, & you. And maybe *her* vet, as well, if (s)he's so inclined after seeing the condition of this poor little guy. I never heard of any emergency veterinary clinic only helping their own club members <snort>. I mean, that's basically what they're saying, right? Sounds to me like they need to look up the term "emergency" in the dictionary, as well as remember the phrase "first, do no harm". I hope this woman's baby is going to be alright. Lin [Posted in FML 5456]
